Description

The calibrating installation of automobile air quality flowmeter and calibration steps
Technical field
The present invention relates to the calibrating installation of automobile air quality flowmeter.
Background technology
Hot type automotive air mass flow measurement utilizes heat exchange principle to measure air mass flow.Automobile is installed on the inlet channel between automobile filter and the air throttle with air flow meter, be used for measuring the air capacity that sucks in the engine, its output signal is as the major parameter of control fuel injection amount in the motor car engine fuel oil electric injection system, the basic fuel injection amount and the injection time of decision automobile.Because air flow meter is very big to vehicle performance influence, directly influence the overall performances such as dynamic property, economy, oil consumption, exhaust emissions index of motor car engine.
Up to the present, in the production of automobile air flow meter, do not see device and method of the present invention as yet.Present already present flow calibration device, or flow calibrating installation, or flow calibration equipment its essence is the difference that detects tested flowmeter output and the output of desirable flowmeter by device, but can not change this species diversity.
Present most automobile air flow meter is based on the design of hot type principle, and its sensing principle is divided into two big class, constant difference formula and heat distribution formulas.Constant difference formula air flowmeter is to exceed a stationary temperature than gas flow temperature with the resistance heated on the thermal probe, when air flows through thermal probe, with the heat of taking away on the thermal probe, flow is big more, the heat of taking away is many more, and the heat that utilizes the measurement air flow to take away is measured the flow of tested air indirectly; Heat distribution formula air flowmeter is to settle the thermometric structure respectively in the upstream and downstream of heating resistor, when air flows through thermal probe, Temperature Distribution in the thermal probe around the heater element is changed, the temperature of downstream fluid is higher than the temperature of fluid upstream, flow is big more, the temperature of downstream fluid exceeds many more than upstream temperature, utilize and measure the flow that the heater element upstream and downstream temperature difference is measured fluid indirectly.The thermal probe making apparatus small investment of constant difference formula air flowmeter, with low cost, but the consistance of thermal probe assembling and positioning can obviously influence the consistance of thermal probe output original signal, thereby later stage manufacturing technique requirent height, having a big risk of substandard products and waste product appears in the corresponding cost that improved in the production run.The consistance of the thermal probe installing and locating of heat distribution formula flowmeter is relatively easily controlled, but thermal probe production equipment costliness, thermal probe cost height.
No matter be constant difference formula flowmeter or heat distribution formula flowmeter, the present mode of production is to obtain the electric signal relevant with flow from thermal probe, it is the primitive relation of air mass flow and output voltage, use the way of hardware (operational amplifier) conditioning or computed in software then, this original voltage output characteristics is transformed into the desired voltage output characteristics of flowmeter, as shown in Figure 1.
In present automobile air flow meter production method, for the flowmeter of a certain specific model, thermal probe output voltage characteristic curve is converted to flowmeter output voltage characteristic curve, its transfer function is fixed.The problem that this production model is brought: 1. because fixing transfer function, the trickle inconsistent of structure or parameter appears in thermal probe production, or occur in the thermal probe assembling process trickle inconsistent, all may cause the variation of thermal probe output voltage characteristic curve, just must cause the variation of flowmeter voltage output characteristics curve according to fixing transfer function, the flowmeter voltage output characteristics is inconsistent in causing producing in batches, has reduced the precision and the qualification rate of product; .2 to guarantee fixing and accurate functional transformation relation, when using hardware (operational amplifier) when realizing, the highly stable and high precision of inevitable requirement build-out resistor, thereby for the manufacturer of high-quality flowmeter, a large amount of resistance needs the laser adjustment, has improved production cost.3. the automobile of different model uses the flowmeter of different model, the flowmeter of different model requires to have different output voltage relation curves, this will cause requiring in process of production to design the needs that a large amount of hardware circuits satisfies the different model flowmeter, make the production inventory cost increase.
The result of above-mentioned condition is that its economic strength is relied on by minority leading enterprise, adopt high high starting point to become the manner, accurately control each link of production run, produce high-quality flow motor sensor, long-term monopolization flow motor meter market, and medium-sized and small enterprises use thermal probe cheaply owing to forming enough batches mostly, the thermal probe resistance precision, the physical dimension precision, manufacturing process, the fine difference of assembling measure of precision etc. all can bring enough big influence to thermal probe output voltage characteristic curve, and the conversion method of fixed function, it is then powerless when thermal probe output voltage characteristic curve changes, add the inconsistent and dispersed of circuit elements device parameter, the precision of the flowmeter of producing like this and consistance can't guarantee, in case demarcate the product of finding not meet quality requirements, just can only work as substandard products or waste disposal, thereby cause under the flowmeter quality of most medium-sized and small enterprises production.
Aspect the demarcation calibration equipment, patent publication No. CN 1793799A has proposed a kind of calibration equipment of easy T type tube side formula, air generator produces air-flow, behind T type pipe, be divided into two branch roads, one the tunnel connects proving flowmeter, and another road connects by the checking flow meter, supposes that air-flow is mean allocation at two branch roads, the output voltage of contrast standard flowmeter and tested flowmeter just can draw the difference of tested flowmeter and proving flowmeter.Patent publication No. CN 200982882A thinks that the supposition air-flow is that this method of mean allocation exists error at two branch roads in the T type tubular construction, proposed another solution: supposition flow in same pipeline equates, and should be identical at the output voltage of same traffic down-off meter, propose the structure that proving flowmeter is connected with tested flowmeter, and used technology based on computer data acquiring.Patent publication No. CN101435715A thinks that also there is precision in T type tubular construction, a lot of problems such as repeatability.Even think that simultaneously cascaded structure can not guarantee precision, even in a pipeline, the difference of flowmeter installation position, because various influential factors also can produce error, also be same flowmeter is installed on pipeline under same traffic diverse location, its output voltage may be because various influence factors and difference.According to this thinking, patent publication No. CN101435715A proposes before demarcation, on proving flowmeter interface and tested flowmeter interface, all insert proving flowmeter, wherein be placed in proving flowmeter on the tested flowmeter interface and be used for measuring the error of interface position, and this error is stored in the computing machine, in formal the demarcation, be used for the compensated position error; And a plurality of tested flowmeter interfaces of design on same pipeline are further proposed, to improve the efficient of demarcating.This method can't validation criteria flowmeter itself consistance, this method supposition proving flowmeter is consistent standard, if under same traffic, the output voltage of proving flowmeter there are differences, so just think that this species diversity is the difference that factors such as pipeline location cause, there is the risk that the propagation of error of proving flowmeter is arrived calibration equipment in this thinking, may strengthen the error of demarcation on the contrary under extreme case.The common employed proving flowmeter of these patented technologies, the flowmeter that does not have metering transmission standard, but the general-utility car air flowmeter of some Premium Brands, thereby under this condition, these devices at most also can only verification hang down the automobile air flow meter of an accuracy class than the flowmeter of Premium Brands.
Above-mentioned calibration equipment all exists following common problem: 1. flow standard problem, whether a flow that recurs and have definite precision can be provided is the key of this problem, use automobile air flow meter to come the verification automobile air flow meter, as if this does not meet the rule that metering is transmitted, or is that we at first admit the flowmeter of oneself low accuracy class of flowmeter than the rival.2. said apparatus only is the verification means, whether the automobile air flow meter of producing by the checking procedure check has the voltage output characteristics identical with the high-quality automobile air flow meter, as previously mentioned, the resistance of thermal probe in the automobile air flow meter, physical dimension, series of factors such as flowmeter assembling process all will influence the voltage output characteristics of thermal probe, in large-scale production, be difficult to guarantee its consistance, disposal route according to the fixed conversion function, output voltage feature inconsistent that must cause flowmeter, this problem do not solve all the time.Particularly when the relatively poor thermal probe of using character, this problem is more serious.
Present already present flow calibration device, or flow calibrating installation, or flow calibration equipment its essence is the difference that detects tested flowmeter output and the output of desirable flowmeter by device, but can not change this species diversity.
